Thanks everyone for your input. While many of you discuss the gels, my question was geared towards the energy bars. I like to have solid food during the first part of the ride/race and use gels later on. I still love and use the SIS gels, but it’s the lack of their solid energy bars that I am upset with.
So my question actually was what type of solid energy bar is everyone using? One that is preferably soft (as in chewy).
